[TLo_16]

Hi, Im looking to upgrade my gpu to a gtx 1050 ti on my HP PC. It has a 300w psu and im not sure if its enough.

Here are the specs. http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=c04552340

You'll be pushing the limits with that.
It is highly recommended that you change the PSU to something better quality and 400+ watts.

I think it'll work. By that I mean if it was my computer I'd do it. I would however set aside money as soon as possible to upgrade the PSU next. By that I mean I wouldn't just add the videocard and forget about it. The reason is while I think that PSU is powerful enough, I don't trust the quality, how long it'll last. This depends on how you're going to use it too. If you're going to be running demanding games all day, you'll put a lot more load on that PSU than if you don't game all that much every day.

I've been using the 320W PSU of my prebuilt HP for a couple of years now, with a GTX750. Yes it works fine. I've seen no problems ever. And these 1050 cards are similar to the 750 in power consumption.

But i still recommend a newer PSU before getting a new GPU.

It's just that we don't want to take any risks, now do we?
